An observation I have made during some of the past games is exactly what is discussed here. Defenses are obviously loading up on Reggie and making him beat them. Conversely, when Deuce is in, we call more straight up plays and the "D" seems not to be always run blitzing as much.
Overall, I am glad the Ravens pressed us so hard. The Tampa game showed that the Buc's coaches tried to reproduce the same aggressive defense and the same game shows that the Saint's coaches made the adjustments on how to take advantage of a loaded up line or run blitz.
I think we can beat the Steelers the same way. Adjust to what their defense dictates. Defensively, I have full faith in our linebacking corps to control this game enough to allow our DB's to match up with the Steeler's WR's.
